law and went into
partnership with his brother, but soon quit
the practice for the ministry. His first
regular passionate was over the CongrCGa-
tional church in Terre Haute, Ind, where
he remained from 1860 to 1865 when he
was chosen secretary of the commission
for the education of the newly freed
negroes, and held that place till 1868.
During part of these three years he also
served rs pastor of the New England
church in New York city. Since then he
has given his time wholly to literature,
publishing the 'Results of Emancipation
in the United States in 1867, "Old Tes-
lament Shadows of New Testament
Truths" in 1870 and two volumes of
Ecechers sermons since. He also served
IS editor of The Literary Record and
ltarper's Magazine. but soon left these TO
form close personal friendship and liter
airy partnership with Henry Ward Bcecher
He succeeded Plymonth's great preacher
as editor of The Christian Union, and
seemed ohavc become thoroughly imbued
with the Bcccher spirit and theology. On
the Sunday after tne latter's funeral Mr.
Abbott delivered in Plymouth church a
eulogy OF the dead, which attracted great
attention for its plain yet fervid language,
its tender references to his deceased
friend and pastor and especially for its
clear and automatic statement of Mr..
Becchcr's theology. No other man was
so well qualified to state Mr.. Beechcr's
exact views, or to give q history of his
progress from the rigid Puritan faith in
which he was reared to the mildcr doc
triues he preached in later years. AS the
church accepts this rs I correct statement,
we may proftably quote the main SEN
fences:
'Mr, Beecher taught higher and bet
ter religion Of God, and call myself his
pupil Mr.. Beecher believed that
the revelation of God in the past was i'm
perfect and that he was constantly re-
vealuC himself to men. To him books
were instruments ana the Bible only

taught larger, broader, progressive reye-
lation, carried on to the end of time
He believed in the nwfulness Of
sin and III its adequate punishment, but
not in punishment without reason, the
only ground Of which is retributive in.

either lie did not believe in an atoning

God, but that Christ suffered for man as

passionate; but experience soon showed
that each successive preacher invited to
the pulpit was naturally looked upon by
the public rs n candidate for the success
sion. Accordingly they recommended
that DR.. Lyman Abbott be engaged as
pulpit supply till a permanent pastor
could he obtained; he accepted on the cx-
press condition that he was not to be con
sidcred for permanent pastor, and at the
prayer meeting on the evening of Oct. IA
the arrangement was completed.

Sketch and Portrait of Beecher's TEN


Sketch and Portrait of Beecher's Tenn
porary Successor.
DR.. Lyman Abbott, temporary success
sor Of Henry Ward Beecher, is of farnilr
that has been active and eminent in New
England since its early settlement. Long
before the revolution men of this family
were noted in their communities rs writ
ers, speakers and leaders of thought, but
the family first attained national fame
by the works of Jacob Abbott. He
was born at Hallowen Me, Nov.
IA, 1908, graduated at Bowdoin col
lege in 1920, took the theological course
at Andover, and after preaching a
few years devoted himself entirely to lit
erary pursuits His Marco Paul. series
and other works for young people obtained
great popularity, but soon gave place to
the rather more serious productions of his
brother, John Stephens Cabot Abbott,
who was born Sept IS, 1905, and died
June II, 1877. His short histories for
young people had All immense popularity
for thirty years; but his history of the
Civil War in America was criticised as
too strongly partisan, and has not attained
to the honor of a standard work. His
history Of Napoleon Bonaparte also was
fiercely assailed nor is the strong bias he
displayed i'll favor of that warrior easily
explained. Gorham ID. Abbott, younger
brother of John and Jacob has some rep
utation as law writer.
Jacob Abbott had four sons--Benjam
Vaughn, Austin, Lyman and Edward.
The first has written some standard works

Fi.cst Markets in the World.

The Paris markets are probably the finest
in the world The Hallcs Centrales were
built on the model Of the Crystal Palace ant
though the other markets Ill the various
quarters of Paris are not so large and SO tine,
they are all managed on the same principle,
and are examples of what can be done when
q people have an inkling that they are real
society, and that the common good IS the
truest way Of arriving at the individual
good.
In living awake at night I always found
that the only time out Of the twenty-tour
hours in which there was absolute silence IN
Paris was about o'clock in the morning.
Shortly after this hour the market wagons
began to pass on their way to the Halles
Centrales, where they arrive about 8 u. m.
They are there unloaded by regiment OF
nearly 500 porters, called "les forts de la
Halle" and who are only admitted after their
physical capacity and moral character has
been found satisfactory. The greatest care
IS taken to prevent. bad goods from being
sold, The inspectors weigh and test every
oound of butter. The annual consumption OF
sccs in Paris is said to reach the fabulous
number of 25O,OOO,OOO Those brought into
the market are each inspected, and similar
care is exercised over the meati Whatever
is condemned is covered with quicklime and
buried. The butchers shops in Paris are
models of cleanliness and geod order, and
instead of making difficulties about small
Joints you are readily served with any
amount you require. There are many rea-
sons for this great superiority if compared
with the same sort of shops in London-the
markets, the supervision of the authorities the
GREAT economy Of French housekeeping, and
the practice among Partisan housekeepers OF
ioinr their own marketing. Goods Words.

VARIOUS CLASSES OF CoNvlcTS.

PIots of fPrisoners-DlYorce Cases.

Would-Bc Desperadoes and suckers"
Plots of Prisoners-DtSorce Cases. E
ut may surprise you to learn that the
worst men in state prison are by no means
the professional criminals whom the law pur-
sues SO relentlessly while they have their lib
erty. Your farmer who has shot down his
neighbor's live stock in revenge, or poisoned
a well or hamstlung horse-the tramp who
has fired barn or committed rape--the vii
ldse tough who has chewed some ones ear off
Or used knife-these are the fellows who
want to be considered prison heroes. They
concoct plots and plans in order to be taken
for keen men. They defy keeper to show
how desperate they are. They take fog
ging to prove that they are clear grit And
yet, when You size 'em up for what they arc,
you find them ours. If q tunnel were dug
for them they would not have the nerve to
crawl through to liberty. There is no shop
without its sucker or give-away, and some
times there are two or three to shop. These
soon become known to all the men, and are
treated with the contempt such people de-
serve.
"Some of the plans and plots Of prisoners to
escape border on the ludicrous. l remember
one plan where twelve convicts were to
manufacture wooden guns for themselves and
paint them up to resemble real carbines.
They were to seize upon certain moment
to rush upon a guard, confront him with
twelve cooked carbines,' and it was expected
that he would at once fling down his musliet
and fall upon his knees in terror. There was
another plan to go out by q balloon, and it
was given UP only for the want Of silk,
cordage, gas and basket During my term
in prison I heard of hundreds of tunnels to be
constructed, but only one of them was ever
but through, and that was known to only
three or four persons. If every plan cooked
up each year was to insure the escape OF one
man, NO one would be left at the end Of
twelve months ,....
GThere is one class Of men in prison whom
pity. They are sent there through a con-
spiracy and d chain Of circumstances. l
know of cases where wives have sworn dead
against their husbands; got them within the
prison walls and then remarked within three
months. Almost every week divorce papers
arc served on some convict. He can, through
an attorney, fight the case, but it Is seldom
That he does so. He may have left home
feeling that his wife would be triis to him
while he was serving his sentence and when
the papers como it takes his heart away. Ii
statistics could be gathered and preserved
you would find that eight out of ten wives
secure divorces from husbands sent to prison,
no matter if his crime was stealing to give
them food or using weapon to preserve
their honor.n-Ex-Convic in Detroit Free

any Treasury official would attempt 10 de-
prIve them Of those perquisttes which for so
many years have been dnly allowed when
properly "looked after" These disallowances
thus n,nde must stand. 1t is not in the power
of the President or Of the Secretary OF the
Treasury to change or reverse any OF the
Cumptrollers decisions. The right TO do SO

by the accounting officers. but ut last the veX-
ed question, which had caused In the IreaSli-
ry more dispute than any other, was SET AZ
rest by the act of 1868, which declared the de-
cisions OF the Comptroller conclusive upon
the executive branch of the Government.
The bill In question, If 1t should become n
law, would constitute m exception TO this
